i never had president clinton telling me to do something in advance. i always hard to argue why i was doing something and then i have to argue how much i was doing. you do not have to argue about whether or not you will be setting standards on carbon emissions. pretty exciting stuff to have this kind of memo there backing you up. >> maybe you had a tougher row to hoe then i will have. my job will be to deliver what the president has told us he will deliver. for me, it is a remarkable opportunity. i could not have started in any other way that had me better positioned at epa to get done the things that we think has been essentially necessary for this country for a long time. it is great to have your boss smarter than you. >> leading the way. one of the things we have in common, we both ran state agencies. part of how the carbon standards will play out is the states will have to step up. we could have this entire meeting in acronyms, so we will spare the audience that. state implementation plans. how do you see that unfolding? the epa is at the crux of t

what i would say to the caller is go back and look at my record in reporting on clinton, bush j obama. i have been consistent towards those in power and that is a core tenant of journalism. it doesn't how president obama treats his daughter. i care about how he treats the broader children in america by his policies. >> robert, you are on booktv. >> hi, jeremy, thanks for taking the call. first off, thank you for your courage is being the last shining light of journal'tshinig light of journa shining light of journal'ism. and it was cool to hear you write the letter and i will pester you to get an internship in the new outlet you are starting. i watched the film dirty war and there are many aspects of this story that strike me to believe the united states foreign policy and what they are doing over there, is creating more terrorism than it is ridding the world of. my question to you as someone who knows about this, and the true consequences of these policies, is do you think it would be beneficial to leave that part of the world alone? bring the military back. defend america. and stop i
